After months of discussion between the two concerned boards — BCB and SLC — it was yesterday confirmed through a media release that the Bangladesh national team will return to competitive cricket following a break imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, through their tour of Sri Lanka, slated to begin with a Test series from October 24.

Finally ice is melting. Bangladesh tiger squad is going to embark on Lanka Lion hunt mission in October 2020. 

With virtually no real activities since March 2020 we are not sure whether most of the Bangladesh cricketers are mentally or physically in shape for taking on strong Sri Lanka in their backyard in test series? With Shakib not available till end October and Tamim a bit doubtful the challenge can be well anticipated. 

Lack of positive thoughts of BCB for training and trimming Bangladesh team maintaining bio security protocol and WHO guidelines over the past month and a half may cause Bangladesh team to suffer. The team was not in great shape before the outbreak of COVID pandemic in March in Bangladesh.  ……

A fired-up Lionel Messi led Barcelona to a 3-1 win at home to Napoli on Saturday for a 4-2 aggregate victory which took the club into the Champions League quarter-finals for the 13th consecutive season where they face Bayern Munich.
